Programme description

  • Introduction

    The course provides basic knowledge of systems, units and functions in the discipline of industrial instrumentation.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    Builds on MEK1000 Mathematics 1000, MEK Physics and Chemistry and ELI2300 Dynamic Systems

  • Required preliminary courses

    No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

    Knowledge

    The course provides the student with basic knowledge of systems design and industrial instrumentation, i.e.:

    • instrumentation of unit operations
    • basic instrumentation, hook-up drawings and instrument qualities
    • control devices
    • installation in potentially explosive atmospheres
    • systems design
    • PLC architecture
    • PLC programming

    Skills

    The student is capable of:

    • analysing systems with regard to systems design, instrumentation and PLC programming, and automating large-scale and small-scale industrial processes

    General competence

    The student:

    • has an overall, detailed understanding of the automation and instrumentation of industrial processes in a project-related and operations-technical perspective
    • has insight into the operation of industrial processes and how this is implemented in an efficient, financially sound manner

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Lectures and laboratory assignments are central in the teaching.
